Landover, MD (SportsNetwork. Victor Olofsson Jersey .com) - Everett Golson accounted for six touchdowns and No. 6 Notre Dame survived a scare from longtime rival Navy on Saturday. The Midshipmen gave the Fighting Irish everything they could handle but came up short in a 49-39 final at FedExField. While they may not have impressed the playoff committee with another close win over an unranked opponent, the Irish (7-1) nevertheless stayed in the national title conversation. They were 10th in the committees first rankings this week despite being ranked sixth in the AP poll. Golson threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns and added three scores on the ground, while Tarean Folston ran for 149 yards and a TD for Notre Dame, which rebounded from a heartbreaking loss at Florida State two weeks ago. Keenan Reynolds passed for 118 yards and two touchdowns for Navy (4-5), which amassed 336 yards rushing against the nations 12th best run defense. Reynolds and the running attack, led by Noah Copelands 138 yards, guided the Midshipmen to 24 straight points en route to taking a 31-28 lead with 4:18 remaining third quarter. The Irish countered with a 10-play, 70-yard drive to jump back in front. Golsons 3-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth quarter was followed by Reynolds dropping a halfback pass on third down on the ensuing possession. Navy was forced to punt, and Notre Dame only needed two plays to score again, as Chris Brown hauled in a 46-yard pass before Folston took a handoff 25 yards for a touchdown. A turnover on downs and an interception on the next two Navy possessions gave the Irish a chance to put the game away, but a pair of missed field goals by Kyle Brindza kept it a 42-31 game. Reynolds and Chris Swain hooked up for a 12-yard score with 4:18 remaining, and after a successful two-point conversion it was a three-point contest. The Irish recovered the onsides kick, then faced a 3rd-and-6 from the Navy 33- yard line. Golson found Folston for a 30-yard pickup to move the chains, and Golson scored on what amounted to a fumblerooski to seal the outcome. Golsons first pass of the game was the longest of his career, as he hit C.J. Prosise in stride deep down the middle and watched the junior wideout shake off a glancing blow by the safety and take it 78 yards for a touchdown. Navy ran 10 straight times to reach the Notre Dame 26 on its first touch, then called for a rare pass that tied things. Reynolds bought time with his legs and fired on the run to a wide open Thomas Wilson in the end zone. Three straight Notre Dame touchdowns gave the Irish a 28-7 lead, but Navy scored the last 10 points of the half to stay close. Golson sandwiched short touchdown passes to Ben Koyack and William Fuller with a 5-yard score of his own, but he threw a costly interception that led to a field goal at the end of the half. After Demond Browns 18-yard touchdown run, George Jamison picked off Golson deep in Navy territory. Ryan Williams-Jenkinss 42-yard reception set up Austin Grebes 44-yard field goal on the final play before the break. Navy controlled the third quarter, as it took the second-half kickoff and went 75 yards in 15 plays. The 7 1/2-minute long drive ended with Geoffrey Whiteside running it in from 13 yards out. After forcing Notre Dame to punt for the first and only time, Copeland broke off a 54-yard run down to the Irish 4. On the next play, Swain punched it in to give the Midshipmen their first lead at 31-28. Game Notes Notre Dame has won four straight against Navy after a 1-3 stretch from 2007-10 ...
